man im dumb

got my car all back togther after being worked on all winter long. toped everything off and made sure the battery was charged. got in it and got ready to start it up. cranked it and she started right up. got out and was looking around. heard something wierd so i shut it off. went to the front of the car and looked under it. guess what i saw? a huge puddle of oil. damn it now what? so i got her back up on the stands and looked around. how stupid can i be? i forgot to tighten the oil cooler bolt on the rear of the block. i lost about 4 quarts of oil cause i forgot to tighten the bolt down. thanks for listening to me rant.

That's why we look around, test & smell for problems after any work.
A problem found is no sweat.
The only dumb thing would be to drive off without checking it over.
